The challenge

From page 2 to the decisive top 3

Although Barfoed Group has an extensive property portfolio, they lacked the necessary authority on Google to outrank portals and big players. The challenge was to move their rankings from the "soft" page 2 results to the absolute top three spots, where the most buy- and rent-ready users are located.

Strategies

Focus on the absolute top and Q1 execution

We chose a tough prioritisation: we didn't just want more keywords on page 1 - we wanted to own the top three spots. The strategy was to optimise their technical foundation and content with a laser focus on the keywords that drive direct rentals and brand authority, with an intensification towards the peak season in early 2026.
